Agafon Filenkov

Agafon Filenkov was a Soviet spy during the months preceding World War II. In April 1941, he was dispatched to Poland to spy on he Wehrmacht forces stationed there, and he discovered some vital information. However, he believed that the Germans had discovered his identity and planned to assassinate him at 4:30 PM on 17 April 1941 at the Polish/Russian border, so a Red Army sniper was sent in to rescue him. The sniper killed a Nazi border guard, a local guard, and the assassin Filipp Kulebin as Filenkov escaped.
